Welcome to my
website on famous Irish scientists.
I am a student currently doing a MSc in Science
CommunicationinDublin City University(DCU). As part
of my course, I am doing a thesis on some aspect of science
communication. For this, I have chosen to create a website about
some of Ireland's famous and unique scientists. Obviously, I could
not include them all as there are too many, so, I chose ten past
scientists, whom I felt had led unusual or interesting lifestyles,
in carrying out their quest for scientific truth.

Some of these scientists were rebels
in their time, choosing to study science, when it went against
societal norms, or was extremely difficult to do so.
Others had to face up to and overcome
personal physical handicaps, such as blindness, to accomplish their
dreams.

I have put together a list of Irish scientists ,whose lives tell an
interesting story. So, just click on the scientist whose achievements,
works or lifestyle you wish to find out about.
